What you'll do:

You and your group board a private catamaran at Puerto Aventuras Marina and spend three hours on the water off Tulum, moving between a guided deck yoga session, open-ocean snorkeling, and a spread of fresh seasonal food and drinks — with the Riviera Maya coastline as your backdrop the entire time.

• Set intentions on the water: As the catamaran leaves the marina, your host Paulina opens the session with a short group intention-setting practice that settles nerves and focuses the group before movement begins.

• Deck yoga with professional gear: Once you're out on open water, Paulina leads a somatic flow yoga session directly on the catamaran deck, using professional-grade mats and props supplied for every guest.

• Guided snorkeling in the Caribbean: The group drops into clear, calm water for a structured snorkeling session led by your guide, exploring the reef and coastline at a relaxed pace with all equipment provided.

• Fresh food and conscious refreshments included: Throughout the sail, the group has access to a curated spread of seasonal tropical fruits and healthy refreshments, included in the base price for every guest.

• Optional ice bath on the water: For groups who want to go further, an open-ocean somatic ice bath is available as an add-on and pairs naturally with the yoga and snorkeling sequence.

Two optional upgrades round out the experience: drone videography captures the group from the air for footage that's actually worth keeping, and the ice bath add-on gives the session a cold-water recovery element that most boat charters in Tulum simply don't offer. Both are booked at least 48 hours in advance.

Why we love it for your group:

1. Truly private charter: Your group of 4 to 8 guests has the entire catamaran to yourselves, with no strangers, no shared deck space, and no party-boat atmosphere to work around.

2. A facilitator, not just a guide: Paulina holds certifications in somatic wellness and has structured this session specifically for groups celebrating something, resetting together, or looking for more than a standard snorkel tour.

3. Morning or sunset slot: You choose between a 9:00 AM departure that catches calm morning water and soft light, or a 3:00 PM departure that puts you on the ocean at golden hour.

4. Rare add-ons for a boat charter: Drone videography and an ocean-side ice bath are genuinely uncommon on private charters in the Riviera Maya and give this listing options that most competitors can't match.

5. Fixed group pricing: At $2,128 per party, the cost covers up to 8 guests on a fully private boat, which works out to a competitive per-person rate for what's included.
